Registration for all events opens 5:00pm. All starts from 5:30pm
to
7pm.
The
series was dreamt up by Carol
McNeill as a
way of
raising the awareness of national bike week at the beginning of June.
The Lanequests have steadily grown over the last 4 years to the current
format which features 6 events, and competiton between the top riders
was quite close. Every event raises around £100 or
so for a different charity each
week. The series has been previously
covered by Wilf's Cafe website, follow the link to see past
results and reports.
Map / Event Format
All
competitors will be provided with a fully marked up colour A4 map
of the event
area and a list of control descriptions at registration. This will give
you planning time
to work out your chosen route. Your aim is to cycle and navigate to as
many checkpoints as possible and to return
to the event centre within 2 hours. A coded punch will be located
at each control site and you must punch your control card in the right
box.
On the night Procedure
Registration will be open from 5:30pm - please sign in
ASAP and collect your map and list of control descriptions, then you
can go for
a warm up ride before starting. Prepare your bike, equipment and
yourself, then go to the start 6 - 7pm where you will enter the coned
area and be clocked out. Off you go. Enjoy yourself!
Results will be calculated and hopefully displayed on a
results string. There will be no prizes, only a perpetual prize for
league winners in class A, B and C. But everyone gets a slice of the
cake at the final event at Wilf's Cafe.
Rules:
Enter on the day, no pre-entry required.
Use the entry form to enter one or more events in the series.
You can start after 7pm, but last finish is 9pm so you will have less
